[ONLINE] [5e] [SATURDAYS] [6PM EST] THE DAYS OF DUST ARE OVER

*The large expanse of the desert is spiraling around you, hot, fiery, unforgivable. Nothing but dead sand, unbearable heat and monstrosities ready to kill. But one night it appeared on the horizon.

First thought to be a collective mirage, as the day passed no one could deny its existence. Its name, passed through old legends and folk songs your tribes sing to the young at night *Oasis*.

But is it really? No one would dream of such a thing. Could it be a trap?or a cruel and twisted trial sent by the Gods? No one seems to agree but one thing surviving those lands thaught you, is that prudence is the key to see the red hot sun rise on a new day.

Everyone seems to agree that if this Oasis is real it would be a haven: no longer would your people be nomadic, forced to roam the cursed land of Fentaboli running from monsters. But don't get ahead of yourself, nothing in this place comes from free, and this could be the beginning of something new, but new does not mean better.

This is why most tribes have decided to ignore this place for now, wary of the unknown dangers this new biome may have brought.

Still you can’t help but think, wouldn't a life in an Oasis be paradise? Have your people not suffered enough? This place is calling you, consuming all your thoughts, almost like it took over your brain and refuses to let go of it. There is only one thing to do, exploring it. But that means breaking away from your tribe and venturing alone in the hellscape that is Fentaboli. Will you do it? Can you even do it? The days pass and the feeling keeps growing….*

**THE GAME**

Hello everyone my name is Gyram, I am 25 years old and I have been dming dnd 5e for 2+ years now, I will be your Dungeon Master for this mini campaign! I am looking for 3 to 4 ‘players, for a short game (roughly 6 to 7 games) on Saturdays at 6PM EST. We will be using discord for voices, and Roll 20 for character sheets,rolls and maps.

This game is to test a set of rules I have been workshopping for a potential desert themed game. As such there will be a lot of homebrews, new players are welcomed but they must understand this is not your typical d&d game. I plan on having players start around level at low level 1 to 3 and have them quickly level up until high level 17+

This campaign will be by design very difficult: survival and exploration will be of the utmost importance, resources will be limited and getting lost in the dunes would be a death sentence. Encounters will not be balanced by level, the monsters roaming this place are very much the apex predators of Fentaboli and often running away is the most sensible choice.There will be a lot of intertribal politics so while you’re never far away from an encounter, RP will play a big role too! We will be using the Lingering Injuries, Madness and the Sanity score variant rules from the DMG.

While this game is more of a serious one I am not aiming for Grimdark at all, there will be some difficult topics, but I will be respecting everyone’s triggers and employ the X-card as well as lines and veils. I also like comedic moments to relieve the tension, peaks and valleys are extremely important to create a compelling narrative.

I also wanna stress that this game will be a safe place for POC, Queer folks and Femme presenting individuals no bigotry of any kind will be tolerated.

I have the rule set ready and will send it to anyone who is interested then you get to decide if it’s a game for them.

If you’ve read this and thought “That seems pretty cool to me” then message me here please! I would like to have session 0/character creation this week if possible.

Please send me a small introduction here with your name, age, experience with TTRPGs and let me know what is the name of the world the game will be taking place in (it’s Fentaboli) if you’ve read all of this it is very important because it let me know you actually paid attention to the post and read it in its entirety.

Thank you for reading!
